The way I found out was terrible
It wasn't from you
I found out from my other cousin
What you do is wrong
And you know it

But I understand
That sometimes our brain doesn't function
And that our most inner thoughts fade
And that those inner thoughts are our right choices
And yet, even when they're there,
You ignore them

I don't want to see you in pain
I want to see you smiling
Finishing school
And having a family

I want you to know I'm here for you
And that no one can ever be like you
Because you're different
And that's what makes you, you
Except, only when you make RIGHT choices
And when you listen to your heart
And not others
